Community: a group of people who live and interact within a specific geographic area.
In the context of sustainability, a 'community' can be a small rural community, a large metropolitan region, a nation, or the entire planet. What makes an area a community is shared interactions among the people in the community. These interactions include:
- Economic transactions: buying and selling goods and services to each other.
- Social relationships: being friends and neighbors, sharing, cooperating, solving common problems together.
- Environmental interdependence: relying on common resources or the services of common ecosystems like forests, farmlands, water supplies, and air supply.
